For many college teams, they aren't taking too many 3's at all. 33% from 3 = 50% from 2 as Jon pointed out, and the top 50 3 point shooting teams in the country this year are all over 37%(looking for a list of all 330+ teams but top 50 is all I've found in a quick search so far). So these teams are lowering their FG % but they are likely far more effective as a result of the 3 point shot.
